IF the SPA-941 doesn't support the selective DND feature, the only
solution that comes to mind is to use server-side DNDs. ie. *11 (for
example) to turn DND on and *12 to turn it off.
In Asterisk, configure *11 to set a DND variable (database put DND ext
yes/no). When somebody calls the extension, if DND is "yes" in the
Asterisk internal DB for the extension, and the call is from a local
channel, ring the SPA-941, otherwise send to voicemail. Make sense?

Hope this helps.
